Plate beamsplitters are semi-mirrors, which reflect part of the incident energy (absorb a relatively small part) and transmit the rest. Some are neutral and some are spectrally selective.

Nonpolarizing cube beamsplitters provide a true 50/50 split regardless of the incoming polarization. They consist of a pair of precision right-angle prisms carefully cemented or mounted together to minimize wavefront distortion.

Polarizer Mounts Information. Polarizer mounts are used to hold and support polarizers. A polarizer is a light filter, which only allows light waves of a certain rotation to pass through. Optical polarizer mounts are specialized holders designed...

Meadowlark Optics, Inc.MWIR Polarizer
This polarizer is an antireflection coated silicon substrate optimized for 3 to 6 microns. The ring mounting provides for ease of handling and has the polarization transmission direction marked. The wire grid surface is quite delicate and should only be cleaned non-mechanically. Standard ring outer diameters are one and two inch but custom sizes, shapes and unmounted polarizers are also available. Call your Meadowlark sales engineer with your polarization requirements today. Excellent contrast...

Meadowlark Optics, Inc.OWL (Outrageously Wide Lambda) Polarizer
Meadowlark Optics provides an extremely broadband polarizer solution - OWL (Outrageously Wide Lambda) polarizer. Manufactured for a wavelength range of 300 to 2700 nm rivaling the span of a Glan-Thompson calcite polarizer, this optic is ideal for broadband applications. The proprietary composition of the OWL allows for an unprecedented width of spectral range at a fraction of the cost of other competing polarizers. This cost savings is coupled with a thickness of only 0.182" including mount...

Artifex EngineeringPolarizer Selection 101
nbsp;. Polarizers are optical elements which may be used to either filter out a specific linear polarization component of a light beam or to separate the two linear polarization components into two separate beams. The choice of technology to achieve this end depends on the specific requirements of the application. Selecting the right polarizer for a particular application can be a harrowing experience - even for well seasoned engineers. Our new white paper “Polarizers: Choosing Suitable...

Ross Optical IndustriesMicro Achromats
Tiny (less than 5 mm in diameter) lenses, prisms and other optical components used, for example, in endoscopes or borescopes or to focus light from semiconductor lasers and optical fibers. Similar to Standard Achromats, but smaller in diameter, these Micro Achromats provide good spherical and chromatic correction enabling them to be used in laser applications.

Artifex EngineeringGlan Taylor Polarizers
The compact Glan type polarizer. Glan Taylor prism polarizer is made of two same birefringent material prisms that are assembled with an air space. Its length to aperture ratio which is less than 1.0 makes it a relatively thin polarizer. The polarizer with no side escape windows is suitable for low to medium power application where the side rejected beams are not required. The angular field of different materials of polarizers is listed below for comparison. Angular Field vs Wavelength: a -BBO...

More Information

We believe that the proposed fiber-based device can
be a low-cost alternative to commonly used passive
Q-switching devices, including saturable absorbers and micro - optics polarizers used for the Q-switching of fiber
lasers.

The designed elements of micro wave optics ( polarizers ; filters; attenuators; beamsplitters;
lenses, diffraction gratings and so on) make it possible
to apply SBMM waves to examination and
visualization of internal dielectric microstructure of
objects under investigation.

Thin and stable optical polarizers are becoming important for hybrid integrated optics and micro -optics because optical devices
(switches, isolators, etc.) for lens4ess optical systems with low diffraction losses can be easily constructed with these polarizing
films'.

Two
promising methods are the nano-imprint lithography (NIL) and the two photon 3D lithography (2P3DL), both
very well suited for the fabrication of small structures for micro - and nano- optics , such as wire grid polarizers or photonic crystals for LEDs [1].
